ABSTRACT
INTRODUCTION:
The vascular pathology of patients with type 1 neurofibromatosis (NF-1) is known. Aneurysms of the brachial artery in NF-1 patients are rare and surgical treatment remains a challenge. REPORT A patient known to have NF-1 presented with swelling of the left arm. Computed tomography angiography showed a ruptured aneurysm of the brachial artery. Operative reconstruction was performed using reversed saphenous vein.DISCUSSION:
Up to now four cases had been published describing brachial aneurysms in NF-1 patients. This case describes the successful reconstruction of a ruptured brachial aneurysm, using a saphenous vein.
